The History of the Orlando City Soccer Club
The Orlando City SC has only been around for about a decade. They are an American professional soccer club that makes its home in the beautiful State of Florida. In 2010, the team announced their intention of joining Major League Soccer within the next few years. They began as an expansion team, and in 2013, they became the league's 21st soccer club.
The team's first game was in May of 2015, and it was against the New York City SC. They spent the next few seasons missing the playoffs, taking on a new head coach, and growing in their talents as a team.
The Stadium
Getting a stadium built for the team was quite an effort. The City of Orlando purchased land to be used for the construction of the stadium, but the bill that would have provided millions of dollars in state funds did not make it past the vote. The project was stalled for some time, but the team's owners refused to give up hope.
Finally, the mayors of Orlando and Orange County were able to secure the funds that were needed to begin building the stadium. But by 2015, the club had decided to purchase the land back from the City of Orlando and build the stadium with private funds.
Today, it is called Exploria Stadium, and it is a beautiful facility that seats more than 25,000 people. It's simply stunning, and it has several suites, a sports club and so much more.
